A vision that offers tangible, achievable improvements to people's lives. For example everyone and their dog has promised market solutions to the housing crisis and nothing has worked. The best we got was a pause on the escalation via interest rate hikes and population growth reduction. Solutions that may not be sustainable in changing economic environment. If someone shows up with an easy to understand, tangible non-market solution to the problem, I bet people will go for it in droves. Like getting the government into hiring people to build housing. A tried and true solution.

It's almost like governments can't control market based solutions!?!

Also the real answer to moving the needle on this problem, I think, is the elimination of the PRTE. You just better buckle up for the thermonuclear boomer outrage that's going to result from that, and I'm not sure there's a politician in this land that's ready to do that.
